Jerry Kiernan has a shot at GAA players/fitness levels

[screenexile]

Gillick be hard to catch i say if he got going, like any other sport that type of fitness for that sport depends on the type of training u do, many say Bruce lee was the fittest man alive, but that was training for the full contact type fighting, Marathon runners train for long distances, is he fitter than a rugby player, its all horses for courses, personally i think the UFC type fighter or professional boxers are very fit though that doesn't mean u wouldn't run rings round them on a  football field.

In my youth I though Tyson was the most awesome athlete I had ever seen. Since then Michael Johnson and Usain Bolt have impressed me even more. But how would they get on marking the Gooch?

I watched a video about Ronaldo and they did a lot of comparisons between him and a sprinter. In straight lines Ronaldo was decent but his style of running was terrible for it... the zig zag sprint he was just different class to the sprinter!!!

I'm told (maybe Syferus can clarify) that the Roscommon panel did a series of fitness tests in DCU recently.

Only three of the panel reached the average level of the Dublin Footballers.

Haven't a clue but it wouldn't be a surprise. Sure we didn't have a county gym set up for the lads at home until late last year. Collins and Cregger both have Sports Science degrees from DCU and Cregg is the Connacht GAA Strength and Conditioning Officer so I assume they were two of the three. Lots of work to do before we're at Dublin's level of fitness. At least we're taking it seriously now.

I met Paul Flynn a few months ago. His physique is really striking.

Lovely fella btw.

Now that you mention it, his nostrils flared when I asked about playing Meath.

Just on this, I've developed a habit of looking at teams and picking out players who, talent aside, look physically light-years away from the average Dublin player.
I picked out quite a few watching the highlights of Wexford and Longford.
Some of the Laois players could do with dropping a few pounds as well.

That's not comparing like with like. Your comparing the full time Dubl€n squad with part timers.
